Relax, think and connect with the world on your own terms in the XC90 and discover a large, family SUV that puts you at complete ease. Inside, an uncluttered cabin crafted from the finest natural materials combines with technology that is intuitive to use. On the move, engines that are powerful, quiet and efficient allow for smooth progress. This luxurious, minimalist aesthetic is the essence of modern Scandinavian design. This is our idea of luxury.

Volvo XC90 Highlights

Power and control

With advanced diesel and petrol engines and the T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid, the XC90 is a flexible and smooth performer.

Enjoy more, use less

With ultra-low CO2 emissions, the XC90 balances power with responsibility. The T8 Twin Engine even offers electric-only, zero-emissions travel.

Seats seven

The XC90 has up to seven seats that allow everyone to sit in comfort. The second row reclines and slides. The third row offers class-leading legroom.

Spacious and versatile

The second and third row backrests fold flat to open up a volume of 1868 litres. Each seat also slides to adjust the balance of load space and passenger room.

THE XC90 IN DETAIL

Explore the features

Discover the XC90, the SUV that is the epitome of modern Scandinavian design, luxurious Swedish craftsmanship and innovative technology.

Powerful presence

Refined strength defines the XC90. This is an SUV that combines powerful, distinctive looks with beautiful Scandinavian design that projects elegance. The upright grille and strong shoulder line convey confidence. At the rear, the tail lights frame the shape of the car, creating an unmistakeable outline.

Light work

The advanced LED headlights of the XC90, with their distinctive T-shape, allow you to see more clearly at night. LED Illumination technology helps you to avoid dazzling other road users by automatically switching between dipped and full beam. Range-topping Full-LED Active High Beam Illumination technology adapts the light pattern on full beam, giving you a larger area of light.

Designed, then crafted

We designed and built the cabin of the XC90 with the best of Scandinavian design and Swedish craftsmanship. Clean, uncluttered design gives a feeling of calm that helps you relax. Scandinavian details delight the senses, such as the Flame Birch wooden inlays and the Orrefors crystal glass gear shifter for the T8 Twin Engine.

Practically Perfect

The XC90 has been designed to be practical as well as beautiful. To make the most of the space, each backrest folds flat so you have complete flexibility whether you’re carrying passengers or cargo. The third row of seats in the seven-seat version can even be folded (and raised) from the driver’s seat at the touch of a button. Thoughtful details such as shopping bag hooks and a strap that secures bags on the floor stop your bags from sliding around, while eyelets in the floor and a cargo net help secure larger items.

Take a seat

With up to seven seats, the XC90 accommodates all your passengers in luxury and comfort. The driver and passenger seats are available with massage and ventilation functions, while the second and third rows are raised above the ones in front – like the seats in a theatre – to give their occupants a better view ahead. All three seats in the second row slide and recline. The third row offers class-leading legroom.

The power of touch

The centre display with touch screen is at the heart of how you control many of the functions in the XC90. Sleek and responsive, it uses bold, clear graphics and a portrait format that makes reading information and maps easy, with less scrolling. The 9-inch touch screen is so responsive that you can use it wearing gloves, while the surface has a special coating that reduces glare.

You’re in control

Technology in the XC90 has been designed to make your life easier. And we wanted to display the most important information in a way that is better for you. That’s why the digital driver display behind the steering wheel puts important information directly in front of you, and automatically adjusts brightness to the surrounding light conditions. There’s also a head-up display that projects information onto the windscreen, so you don’t need to take your eyes off the road. You can even control the car by speech: the voice control function allows you to operate climate control, navigation, media and phone just by speaking naturally.

Built for sound

The XC90 was designed from the ground up for superb sound. Our range-topping Bowers & Wilkins system works with the car’s internal acoustics to deliver clarity and realism through its 19 speakers, including a unique subwoofer that draws air in from outside the car to create deeper, richer bass. A tweeter mounted on the top of the dashboard cuts down on acoustic reflections from the windscreen. On Excellence models, there is an extra speaker between the rear seats.

Three different room modes – Studio, Individual Stage and Gothenburg Concert Hall – allow you to tailor the sound to your music or mood. Stainless steel speaker grilles and Bowers & Wilkins’ trademark yellow speaker cones make this a system that looks as good as it sounds.

Hear the difference

The Harman Kardon Premium Sound system gives you powerful sound and technology that improves the in-car experience. Each of the 14 speakers is individually monitored and adjusted, so everyone hears the best possible sound. Automatic Level Adjustment evens out differences in volume and intensity on the recording, so you don’t have to constantly change the settings. And a bass management system adapts the bass to the car’s acoustics, making the deepest notes richer and clearer.

Connection made easy

Connect your smartphone to the XC90 quickly and easily, every time. The XC90 supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which turns the centre display with touch screen into an extension of your smartphone. Access your music and messages or make calls, using voice control to talk to your phone’s personal assistant. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto only use the lower half of the screen so the car’s other functions are still displayed.

First class comfort, every day

Refined and relaxing, the XC90 offers first-class comfort over long distances. Double wishbone suspension at the front and our unique integral link rear axle, built from lightweight materials, help to save weight and ensure the XC90 responds precisely. It also contributes to a quiet, vibration-free ride, helped by laminated windows that reduce noise.

Drive it your way

The XC90 offers a choice of drive modes, for a driving experience to match the road ahead and your mood. Using the roller control, which is positioned between the front seats, you can switch between three settings that alter the characteristics of the engine, automatic gearbox, steering, brakes, stability control system and engine stop/start. Comfort sets the car up for maximum comfort, Dynamic sharpens the car’s responses and Eco prioritises efficiency. A fourth mode, Individual, allows you to combine characteristics to create your perfect mode.

Supreme control

The optional Four-C active chassis is an electronically controlled damping system that makes the XC90 even more adept at adapting to your needs. It makes up to 500 calculations per second to assess the current road conditions and driving style, and then adapts the responses of the suspension dampers to provide the optimum balance between comfort and control.

When you switch between the car’s drive modes, Four-C also adjusts the suspension characteristics. Comfort mode prioritises a smooth ride, while Dynamic mode sharpens the handling and car’s responses. Individual mode allows drivers to create their own combination of settings.

Pure power: T8 Twin Engine

The XC90 T8 Twin Engine has a plug-in hybrid powertrain, with effortless performance from a four-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels and an electric motor driving the rear. Combined with our smooth, automatic Geartronic transmission, the result is strong, effortless acceleration.

Choose your mode

The XC90 T8 Twin Engine allows you to drive an average daily commute with zero emissions. This near-silent, electric-only mode, which we call Pure mode, is enough for the daily commute of most people. In addition there are two more modes. Switch to Power mode and the turbocharged, supercharged petrol engine and powerful electric motor work together to give you an instant response when you put your foot down. Keep the car in default Hybrid mode and the T8 Twin Engine automatically chooses between the petrol engine, electric motor or a combination of the two, to keep you moving as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Designed to be hybrid

With plenty of space, and technology that makes driving easier, the XC90 T8 Twin Engine is the plug-in hybrid without compromise. It’s because the XC90 was designed from the start to use a plug-in hybrid powertrain, so the batteries and electric motor don’t compromise space. Charging the battery is as easy as plugging it into the mains, but the powerful petrol engine means you can keep going even without an electric top-up. Predictive Efficiency technology plans your journey using the ‘electronic horizon’ feature of Sensus Navigation, so the battery lasts the length of the journey.

Your assistant on the road

Volvo Cars’ Pilot Assist helps keep the XC90 at a set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you, using steering input to keep you in the centre of your lane. Pilot Assist works at speeds up to 130km/h, and is particularly helpful in highway conditions, helping to reduce some of the effort required when driving in heavy traffic.

A better view, all round

The 360˚ Camera available for the Volvo XC90 helps to make parking easier by giving you a bird’s-eye view of your car and its immediate surroundings. It’s especially useful when negotiating tight spaces and allows you to see the car’s position in relation to its surroundings. The surround view from the four wide-angle lens cameras appears on the centre touchscreen and is available at speeds up to 10km/h.

Easier parking

The XC90 is easy to park with Park Assist Pilot. It uses sensors to gauge the size of parallel or perpendicular spaces as you drive by them, and lets you know if one is big enough. It can then steer the car into a parallel space just 1.2 times the length of the car - all you need to do is operate the gears and brake according to the screen prompts. Your XC90 will do the rest.

Please note: the driver is responsible for how the car is controlled at all times

Designed to protect

Safety is at the heart of the XC90 and is the result of decades of innovation. Ultra high-strength boron steel – one of the strongest types available – forms a rigid safety cell around the car’s occupants. Safety belt pre-tensioners and load limiters keep the belts in just the right state of tension while not exerting too much pressure on the body.

Looking out for you

Your XC90 looks out for potential danger, helping to protect both those people in the car and those outside, day and night. We call this innovation City Safety and it uses radar and camera technology to identify potential hazards such as other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals ahead. It warns the driver if it detects an imminent collision and, if they don’t react in time, City Safety can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision.

Keeping you on the road

The XC90 can protect against one of the most common types of collision - when a vehicle leaves the road - less likely to happen. Run-off road Mitigation can detect if the car is about to leave the road unintentionally between 65-140km/h and can then use steering and, if necessary, brake support to guide the car back onto the right path.

If the car does leave the road then Run-off Road Protection – another Volvo Cars innovation – reduces the chances of serious injury. It features an energy-absorbing structure in the front seat frames that cushions vertical impact in the event of a hard landing and, in addition, optional safety belts that automatically tighten.

Please note: the driver is responsible for how the car is controlled at all times.

Carry and protect

Get more from the XC90 with our useful accessories. An electrically operated towbar slides under the car when not in use. Inside, a steel grille is a sturdy barrier between passenger and load compartments. Add a load compartment divider and a dog gate for safe and secure pet travel. Other accessories that cover the sides and seat backrests help keep the interior like new.

Styled by you

Add your own finishing touches to the XC90 with our range of styling accessories. Each is designed to perfectly complement the XC90. Front and rear skid plates emphasise the car’s inherent strength. Strong, light running boards have built-in illumination to make getting in and out easier.
